Description
Tracing its craft back centuries to Japan's Kagawa Prefecture, the Shattuck Avenue shop centers on an active assembly line. Diners customize bowls with broths and sauces after watching the noodles take shape, then round out their trays with hot sides like vegetable kakiage and chicken katsu. The casual setup moves quickly, with diners consistently noting the udon's distinctly chewy texture.
